Creative Endeavors: Superhero Capes/Masks

This was both last week and this weeks project since I ended up making more than one.
Since three of my nephews have birthdays in September (thanks alot guys, couldn’t you have planned that a little better?!?!?!) I knew I needed a boy-oriented project so I picked the one lonely idea I had pinned to make for them. Lame, I know, but I have all girls.
Although to be honest….Susannah has been begging for one of these ever since I had her model them for me.
I guess you don’t have to be a boy to appreciate superhero attire.
Personally I’ve never been a fan of Wonderwoman. Or….hmmm…are there any other female superheroes? How biased is that?!?!
I do love Edna-whatever-her-name from the Incredibles. She was totally awesome.

I ended up making four of them because I remembered that I hadn’t sent poor Roo anything in July.

Bad auntie!

I discovered that I’m pretty lame at making my own patterns.
But after a LOOOOOOOOOOooooooooong time of staring at the pictures and then staring at my fabric and then staring at the pictures again I managed to get a cape-ish shape cut.

I’ll admit that I ruined one mask right away.

But here’s the end result, modeled by Super-Susannah and Super-Madeline, by far my two favorite female superheroes ever to terrorize Texas.

Hey, don’t look at my dead lawn.

Super-Susannah specializes in restoring order to chaos. One pile of toys/blocks/books at a time…she will line them up/stack them in precise patterns. Don’t you worry, not ONE will escape her watchful eye.

Enter the villain, Super-Madeline. She draws her power from creating chaos. Don’t let the innocent look fool you…there’s an evil scheme formulating behind those blue eyes.

Oh, and did I mention that I also have a niece born in September? And another that’s due any day?

Just a suggestion for Heidi and Ty when they decide to start reproducing….November and December are totally open months. Let’s aim for that. ;)

Oh, Rebekah! Great idea! Mo made some of these for her grandsons, and I was thinking it would be a great gift! So glad you fixed that for me! ;)
Those superhero models of TX are definitely my favorites!

Too funny!!! I didn’t know they would both come in September….around the same day!! The capes are AMAZING!!!! I think they’re adorable!!!! The boys will love them and I will end up making Jonny one too probably! Can you believe he is going to be 10 next April?!!! When did that happen?!!!

I didn’t know if Jonny would want one or not, but was going to include a note that if he did I could make him one. I’m out of fabric but if you’d rather I sent one for him too I can hold off. Let me know, okay? (If you want to make him one that’s fine too!)

No worries…glad you found a fun project to satisfy your Creative Endeavors and take care of birthday gifts too. I usually just THINK about the crafts, and don’t ever execute. This way, the boys actually get the goods. ;o)

Super Susannah also has the power to run faster, jump higher, dance and twirl far beyond the capability of mere mortals.
Super Madeline can break your heart with just one look from those blue eyes enabling her to get out of trouble and getting lots of candy from grandparents.
